Hispanic theatre is a big umbrella that has three main facets which come from Mexico, Cuba. and Puerto Rico. Chicano theatre started out as early as the 16th century when the Spanish arrived to the new world. The two most popular cities for Chicano theatre was San Francisco and Los Angeles. Once the nation had grown and railroads had flourished, the community spread East into Texas and eventually to Chicago and neighboring states. The goal of Chicano theatre is to educate the population about issues within this community. Cuban-American theatre started in New York City and Tampa in the late 19th century with Cuban blackface farce. This theatre become very active after the Cuban revolution in 1959 and writers lashed out at communism and Fidel Castro. Now, the Cuban theatre has a new wave of writers that incorporate the identity of being a Cuban-American. Nuyorican theatre is from the Puerto Ricans in New York. Puerto RIcans are different from immigrants in the way that most of them are likely to return back to the homeland one day. This theatre absorbs the mainland and homeland’s influence and portrays it on stage. When the homeland had it’s success from the 1940’s to the 1980’s, the theatre back on the mainland took note of that and followed.
